Writer's Guidelines

The Cat Scan accepts queries or completed manuscripts. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with our publication and read some of our stories before sending your manuscript. Because our audience is made up primarily of university students, we look for stories that will appeal to an intelligent, engaged audience. The Cat Scan is a publication that is edgy and exciting but not gratuitous. Please refrain from foul language and ad hominem attacks in your writing.
